AI have no rights. Your AI creations are right-less. They belong in the public domain. If not, they are properties of the peoples whose art you stole to make the AI.

hmm so if the ai was trained on various e.g. stock photos in addition to people’s art would u change your opinion
No? Stock photos are technically just other people’s art? The point is that the “AI” we’re currently talking about is INCAPABLE of anything other than reassembling other people’s art.
If it could have its own experiences, it would be an entirely different thing and it would be unethical to exploit their labor. Current AI is just really efficient copying that covers its own tracks by copying A LOT at once. That’s just what this technology is.
Typing in a prompt to “create art” with these is tantamount to image searching on google and claiming all the images are yours because you came up with the search term.
and I think you might be stretching the definition of copying here at least a bit. They’re not copying pixels, they’re identifying common features in images and encoding those into the internal network relationships, except not only the features themselves but also how they relate to each other etc
also point of order/etiquette is it rude to respond with two comments to two different points
A little, but we do it all the time
huh, what level of indirection would it require for photographs to not be art anymore? Would like, random street webcams do it?
I’m not sure I understand the question or how the scenario is comparable. A more apt comparison would be someone that goes around taking pictures of other people’s art and starts claiming it as their own. You’re free to take pictures of it, sure, but if you want to claim it as your own creation, you’ve cross a boundary that I’m not willing to cross with you. That’s how I see “AI” art.
i’m pretty sure you could in fact take pictures of paintings, with some connecting theme or context & redisplay those photos as new art. the line between a ‘new art’ and a ‘stolen art’ is pretty difficult to define
Yeah we already had this particular debate 100 years ago tbh. there may have been a urinal involved
